Thought I'd feature a couple of paintings today.  I'm getting closer to painting as our house is on it's way to being unpacked.  We had our first company this weekend, we had a few hiccups, some things still packed away that haven't been found, but we'll get there:)

Spin the Bottle

"Spin the Bottle" 8" x 8" watercolor on 260lb Arches

I'm madly getting ready for my upcoming workshop this weekend.  I just finished a demo of a painting that we'll be working on in class.  I took several reference photos of my green bottles in lots of spinning positions, thought it would be a fun series.  I guess this could be interactive art if you really wanted to take the spin the bottle title literally.

I'm looking forward to meeting all my workshop participants.  Should be fun.  There are still a couple spots available if you're interested.  It's March 15-17, in Mt. Vernon Illinois.  E-mail me, carriewallerart@gmail.com and I'll send you the flier.

Hi Everyone,

Here is my completed painting, "Emerald City".  It is 11" x 14" original watercolor on 260lb Arches.  I decided to revisit my green glass series.  I couldn't help thinking of The Wizard of Oz while I was painting this.  I hope the title isn't to "out there".

I also wanted to show you the picture rail in my studio area.  I really enjoy utilizing these shelves.  They were very affordable at IKEA.  Also thought I would show you my new painting next to the larger version "Going Green".  Also pictured are my paintings "Italian Heritage" and "Summer Kaleidoscope".

I'll share the work in progress pictures of "Emerald City" on Wednesday.
